Campus Guide

As you probably know, Marquette has a long history within the Jesuit tradition of Excellence, Faith, Leadership and Service. We have been blessed with much growth and many changes over the years, however, during these changes, one constant has remained—our mission is to assist young people in their journey to become better women and men for others.

Marquette University is a Catholic, Jesuit University dedicated to serving God by serving our students and contributing to the advancement of knowledge. Our mission, therefore, is the search for truth, the discovery and sharing of knowledge, the fostering of personal and professional excellence, the promotion of a life of faith, and the development of leadership expressed in service to others.
